This might be misleading. Germany has something named "mini job" or "400 euro job", where you are paid exactly 400 euro which barely covers the groceries and the rent for a room. A lot of young people have such a job, and this keeps the une

That won't solve anything. Let's say that you leave London and 10:00 UTC, and land in another city at 15:00 UTC. Do you go to dinner? Breakfast? Can you schedule the business meeting at 17:30 UTC or this is just after midnight? Just get an

I guess that it depends on the ISP (for general area location) or the Wi-Fi SSID and MAC (for exact location). I just ran an HTML5 geolocation demo http://html5demos.com/geo from my wi-fi connected laptop, and the location is less than a

But could Python really take advantage of asm.js? I think that this is more useful for compiling statically typed languages (C/C++/... maybe TypeScript?) to JavaScript.

What austerity are you talking about? The governments still spend much more money than they have. When you have no money, taking a loan to buy a 60" plasma TV instead of an 80" one does not mean austerity.

It's probably generating "white noise" which covers the other noises. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUwEiMNhOCM

That benchmark is for algorithms implemented in pure Python and in pure Go. But for real projects, a Python programmer might use several libraries which are written in C.

I hope that they keep the Long Term Support versions, for which they used to provide updates for up to 5 years.

Well, regarding yout API example, Python 3 introduces function annotations which let you specify the types of the parameters and of the return value. These types are not checked by the interpreter, leaving this job to the programmer (or fra

Then we must increase the liability. When patent owners want to sue for damages worth $1000000, make them pay $1000000 in a 3rd party bank account BEFORE that. If they win, then they get their money back plus the damages. If they lose, then

It depends on how large the code base is. Rewriting a 10k LOC project isn't a big deal, compared to a 10 mln one. And a rewrite doesn't have to target performance only, but ease of maintenance too.

Yes, but it can also use several channels. This plus the AC standard becoming more popular will lead to overcrowding in 5 GHz also. 2.4 GHz has 3 non-overlapping 20 MHz channels. 5 GHz has about 23 non-overlapping 20 MHz channels. Both go t

Not good for a house, but very useful for apartments in large buildings. You can have one wireless AP in each room (connected to eachother with wires), and almost no interference from the neighbours.

If men can't develop empathy, why does the (old) war propaganda show women and children who need to be protected from the "evil enemy"? How come a man can willingly sacrifice himself for the common good? And yes, a man does create life, tog

In case of homosexuality it could be that the genes which cause this in a man are also helping his sister in becoming more attractive to other men (and the brother of a homosexual woman to be more attractive to other women). I have no stats

The pay-go pension system is a huge ponzi scheme because it needs more and more people into the game with each generation. It lasted less than a century and it's on the edge of collapse now. Why should we postpone the inevitable?

Well, if it's DARPA, then probably the main purpose of the network will be military. And I'm pretty sure that they have much more money than Iridium.

But why should the satellites be on geosynchronous orbit? What if we bring them closer to Earth? For example, when we use mobile internet, we travel from antenna to antenna. With satellites on lower orbits, the antennas will travel around u

But that subsidy must come from somewhere. For every $.20 the widget company gets, some other company is taxed $.20 And GDP is a joke. If I buy your laptop for $1 bln, and you buy it back from me for $1 bln, nothing will change for us, but

When a country is still spending more money than it earnes, can we call it "austerity"? I mean, if you have a salary of $100000, even if spend only $130000 instead of the usual $160000 you are still living above your means.

Using EC2 also takes away a part of the risk. If your startup fails in a year, then you don't get stuck in the end with a pile of hardware (for which you paid big bucks). I guess that the best would be to use EC2 in the beginning, when you
